Hey there crazydaisy... Well, the only thing I can tell you about Spider plants, is that they require very little water, and like to stay in the shadowy areas. Keep the soil just moist enough to the touch. If they get too much water or light, they will either drown or burn. My mom was the one in my family who had the "green thumb". I can't grow anything either when it comes to plants. The only thing I can grow well, is long hair and being tired most of the time. ;-) cdrxo

All thumbs? Gee, I can't begin to imagine what your toes must look like then? (--smile--) Yup, my mom was the only one in the family, who somehow just seemed to know what to do. As far as I can recall, she never studied plants in any way. She just...."knew". Strange huh? cdrxo

My mom have lots of indoor plants and also outdoor flowering plants. There are some plants that really requires a lot of care in planting and i guess there are some plants other than spider plants that are easy to grow. Just like the cacti plants its very easy and though its ornamental but i love the different varieties of it. Because some of them bear flowers like the euphorbia it has yellow, red, pink and white flowers and some of them have green or combinations of colors. Is it available in your place?

Could you be overwatering them? Most plants like to have good drainage, and they don't like to sit in saucers full of water.
